As of 9:05pm, what I’m noticing is that almost all of the red states are blowouts … and way too many blue states are “too close too call.” It’s conceivable that Clinton will win the Electoral College while losing the popular vote.

I”m surprised with Clinton’s massive GOTV operation advantage that the votes appear to be as close as they are in Florida.

As things stand, Clinton MUST win Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to have a viable path to 270 Electoral College votes. She trails in Michigan and Wisconsin, and her lead in Pennsylvania is dicey.

She won Virginia. That is all I am saying.

Did anyone else notice the fall in stocks (700 as of a few minutes ago)? The markets are totally freaking out. Brexit anyone?

For example, MSNBC is now interviewing Rudy Giuliani. Either he or Chris Christie will probably be our next Attorney General. And either’s first priority will be indicting Hillary Clinton for … something … anything.

This is what happens when you spend 18 months talking about emails. Now pundits on MSNBC are scrambling to figure out what a Trump presidency will be. Duh. Haven’t you been listening?

I am semi-seriously considering firing up my RV and driving to Mexico before they build a wall to keep us out.

My pain is compounded my my son’s Trumpy mother-in-law in a state of pure glee. She is here too. I am stunned. Also, my Bernie-never Hillary niece texted me that we should have run Bernie. I am surrounded. Help!

I’ve already written tomorrow’s Morning Lede, and I’m taking it as a given that Trump will win. I just don’t see how Clinton picks up enough votes in the few states that remain … and she would have to win all of them.
